[QUOTE="matt_brown, post: 4204786, member: 8691"] I FL size all my brass (223, 22-250, 243, 25-06, 300 win mag and the 338 lapua) I have always ran my die down till it bumped my shell holder and then just a bump more so I have full contact. The 338 is the only cartridge I have ever had case head separation on that is why I was leaning more towards weak poor quality brass. Since this has happened I have studied the "proper" way to FL size brass and wow there is such a fine line when it goes from same size to 0.001-0.002" bump to a 0.006-0.008". Why have I not had this happen with other calibers? Is it because the 338 is so big/powerful? I shoot nosler, Win or lapua brass in everything EXCEPT the 338 in which I shoot S&B brass.
